Agenda 2030

K-Pop Group BTS at UN for the Sustainable Development Goals

Centennial CAs identified in this IISD review the Secretary General urged in his focus on the future “… that young people and future generations are “barely represented” in global decision-making. He intends to appoint a special envoy for future generations and upgrade the UN’s youth office. A summit on transforming education is proposed for 2022. A focus on the future also entails future-oriented policymaking, and the UN should create a Futures Lab to better predict policies’ impact over time. In addition, Guterres proposes creating a platform to be readily launched in crises and emergencies and repurposing the Trusteeship Council – which has been suspended since 1994 – as an intergovernmental platform for the interests of succeeding generations.” In line with focus on the future BTS the hugely popular K-Pop group appeared before the UN gave the following remarks.
